A rich blend of personal insight and theological training combine to make the Coffee Cup Bible series full of possibility for spiritual growth. Whether two or twenty people meet to interact with the weekly lesson and share their own answers to probing questions, everyone will appreciate the lovely format and original style.

A practical, friendly tone leads to personal application of biblical truth. From Mocha on the Mount, for example, "What are some ways people demonstrate that they're enslaved to money?" Then, "List evidences that you've been affected by materialism?" Sandra Glahn reveals vulnerability as she raises questions contemporary women confront.

Six lessons in each compact book contain the scripture, commentary and discussion questions (Espresso with Esther has five weeks of lessons). Planning a women's Bible study to correspond with the school year, this series lends itself to complete two studies before Christmas, then after the break, offer two more. If you do one study, you will want to complete them all.

As a former BSF Teaching Leader, it's great to be able to recommend a study I know God can bless.

Mocha on the Mount overflows with theological wisdom and practical application. Whether you're new to studying the Bible or have many years under your belt, the questions nurture and challenge to a deeper maturity and understanding.

I never fully appreciated the life-changing teachings of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount until I did this study. Sandra Glahn has encapsulated "Christ-follower: 101" in this book.

Even down to the way the book is spiral-bound and includes all Bible text references makes it all the more user-oriented.

Do you cringe when you hear about yet another Bible study? Do you fear the shame of a strict school teacher reprimanding you from its pages? Sandra Glahn's Coffee Cup Bible studies are nothing like that. Her writing is like a teacher who walks from behind the desk and sits down in the back row with the rowdiest bunch. No condemnation. No gaggy preaching or lecturing. Just a shared need to learn what our heavenly Teacher is saying. But she is not without enough sense of humor to appreciate the value of a well-flung spitball toward our fellow students. So raise a mug of java to this Bible study series, which manages to keep us awake, learning, and focused on the real Author of Truth.

This is the most convicting book that I've read out of the series. This 6-week walk through Jesus' Sermon on the Mount is for every women who desires to take an honest spiritual inventory on her walk with the Lord. And like the other books in this series, Sandra again breaks this passage down section by section, giving practical applications and devotional thoughts. Perfect for group study or individual devotions.

I delight in studying God's Word in a phrase-by-phrase, word-by-word setting. Mocha On the Mount, Sandra's study of the Sermon on the Mount, is a perfect example. I would recommend it for any ladies' Bible study...D.J.Martin, Ladies' Bible Study Teacher.

Mocha on the Mount sheds light on the Sermon on the Mount; as a result of the study, I now read Matthew 5-7 with more understanding! It provides wonderful insight into what Jesus values...thereby helping me to look into areas of my life and consider my attitudes and actions concerning issues such as revenge, anxiety, and accumulating earthly possessions vs. eternal ones. Thank you, Sandi Glahn, for a tool that addresses who I should be becoming. I'm eager and equipped now to not only better apply these Scriptures to my heart but also to lead my children through them.

Relevance is the key word. I love the Coffee Cup Bible Study series. This series is written for women by a woman of wit and graciousness who has an impressive command of hermeneutics.

I couldn't wait to get started with Mocha on the Mount. I've been to the place called the Mount of Beatitudes and felt as if I were back there again as the scripture unfolded.

Ms. Glahn draws us into history and expands our view as she weaves other scripture and stories into the picture. We can see God's same message in other lives and other settings. She is especially effective at expounding on the Greek and Hebrew words that bring color and relevance to the lessons.

It is so helpful to have the Biblical text printed in the study. I always have it with me.

This is an incredible bible study. I love the way it is laid out and the format of the book it's self...It is very easy to study because all the scriptures are right there but it also challenges you to dig a little deeper in the word of God...Marilyn

Wanted: Extraordinary Bible studies for ordinary people, scholarly explanations-but in plain English, history to bring context to biblical stories.
Found: Sandra Glahn's remarkable Coffee Cup Series! Glahn sets solid theological content into a conversational style for any reader to enjoy. Prepare yourself to be delighted yet challenged as you imbibe the truths of the scriptures addressed in this series.

Our ladies' Bible study group is currently using "Mocha on the Mount" for our summer study. This is the second "Coffee Cup" series study that we have done (previously used Frappe with Philippians). Every one of the 16 ladies in the group has been very impressed with the format and content of this little book. We would recommend and encourage others to consider using it for their small group study.
